Burnham RNLI receives £440 from Wotton-Under-Edge's Masonic Lodge

Burnham RNLI has received a cheque for £440 from the Masonic Lodge of Grace, whose headquarters are based in Wotton-Under-Edge.

The money was raised from the proceeds of a raffle and a donation of £100 following a recent ladies night event.

Burnham-On-Sea resident and Lodge member Alun Bayliss said: "I have a great belief in supporting local causes, saw the new RNLI station developing, and wanted to help in some way."

Burnham-On-Sea RNLI station Chairman, Tony Winterburn replied: "I am pleased to accept this money on behalf of the RNLI which, coincidentally, is exactly the amount that it costs to kit out one lifeboat crew member."

Our photo shows Alun Bayliss, Helen Somers, Tractor driver Dave Parsons, and Station Chairman Tony Winterburn adjacent to the stern of Burnham-On-Sea RNLI's Staines Whitfield lifeboat.

Helen is shown handing the cheque for £440 to RNLI tractor driver Dave Parsons.
